Trying to send commands to KPA500

[Joe K2UF]

Maybe someone on one of these reflectors can help.  I am trying to switch
the KPA500 between STBY and OPER via a Commander User defined control.  I
tried '^OS1:' (without the quotes).  Nothing.  Any help out there?

Looking at the KPA500 programmers reference, it would appear that you should
be using a semicolon rather than a colon.
^OS1; not ^OS1:

Are you trying to send that command to the K3? That won't work. Or
have you configured Commander for some imaginary radio? That may
confuse the KPA500 by sending commands it doesn't understand....

Use a semicolon rather than a colon to terminate a command.

I send ^os0;^os; and ^os1;^os; in the KPA Utility.  The trailing ^os; is a
query; I compare its response with the intended setting.
